Of all the beaches in Santa Barbara County, this is the wild one. On any given day you are guaranteed high winds and a rough surf, making it a hot spot for advanced surfers and windsurfers. It is located 14 miles off Highway 1, south of Lompoc.
The Jalama Creek runs into the ocean here.This area used to be a Chumash Indian settlement because it was so rich in fish and plant life. Today it is a wonderful place to bird watch and collect rocks. On a side note, ask any surfer up and down the coast where you can get a good burger and without hesitation they will say, "Jalama Beach."
